How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 9 ÷ 100 = 0.09
  2. Multiply: 0.09 × 52 = 4.68
  3. Check: Work backwards: 4.68 ÷ 52 × 100 = 9%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 9/100 = part/52, so part = 9 × 52 ÷ 100 = 4.68. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =9%*52. Forgetting to divide the percentage by 100 makes the answer 100 times too big. Note that x% of y always equals y% of x.

What the result means

4.68 is the 9% share of 52. The remaining 91% is 47.32, and the two parts add back up to 52.

Discounts: 9% off an item priced $52 saves $4.68, so you pay $47.32.

Adding and taking away 9%

Increasing 52 by 9% gives 56.68 and decreasing it by 9% gives 47.32. These do not cancel out: raising 52 by 9% and then lowering the result by 9% ends at 51.5788, because the second 9% is taken of a bigger number.
